Mastic Doctor has been sealing joints for businesses and contractors since 2005, and the documents buyers ask for are ready: we’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, our applicators hold CSCS cards, and we carry five million pounds of public liability insurance. If your site needs RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, say so and we will confirm with the quote. We work on movement joints in walls and floors, washrooms and tea points and external facade joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are external beads that have gone brittle and cracked and mouldy silicone around WCs, urinals and vanity tops.

On a typical commercial building in Trotton, the joints that fail first are the hardest-worked ones: frame perimeters in the sun, floor joints at doorways and anything that gets wet every day.
Rural business units near smaller places such as Trotton are frequently converted agricultural buildings. Old masonry beside new aluminium, timber and plasterboard gives plenty of joints between materials that move differently.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and the quote explains what it covers.

Doing it in-house
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are easy to get wrong without experience.
Owners, agents and contractors
As a CHAS accredited contractor and Constructionline member, we are straightforward to vet for your supplier list. Our insurance certificate can be sent along with the quote.
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor on new-build and refurbishment projects. Programme, specification and site rules come first.

Commercial sealant contractors around Trotton: how the place shapes the job
Central London is about 46 miles from Trotton. The commuter belt holds a great many offices, retail parks and business parks. Firms with branches across the South East can use one contractor for every site. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Drier doesn’t mean dry every day, so frontage work still has some give in the dates.
If you run an office at a site such as Midhurst Business Centre, which lies east of Trotton, the sealant at reception desks, tea points and frames ages with each fit-out. A business with units at Midhurst Business Centre and Holmbush Industrial Estate needn’t use two contractors for its sealant.

Our process
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. Jobs in and around smaller places like Trotton are typically planned as a single visit, so we ask for photos and rough sizes first. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- You send photographs, drawings or a list of the joints and areas involved, and a site visit is booked where it helps.
- We work out why the joints have failed and fix a quote for the agreed scope.
- We plan around your site hours and access windows, phasing the work where areas have to stay in use.
- We strip the failed bead and prepare both faces of the joint.
- We fit backing to the right depth, prime where specified and lay the new bead.
- Each area is inspected, signed off and backed by our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements

Advice
Quoting for work in Trotton
These are the things that shape the price:
- The total length or number of joints
- The size and state of each joint
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Whether the work must be split into stages
Cost follows what’s involved: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain how it’s made up.
Details that help us quote
Whether it’s one area or a whole building, these details speed things up:
- Any specification or named product
- The postcode of the building
- Access details, including height
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To start the process, phone 01277 525 020 or email us.
Why it’s worth doing now in Trotton
Patching the worst lengths can be the right call on a tight budget. If the rest of the bead is the same age and product, though, it’s usually close behind, and a second visit means paying for access and set-up again. Where it helps, we quote a patch and a full reseal side by side. For buildings around smaller places like Trotton, water damage can go unnoticed for longer, especially where a building isn’t used daily, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote and we will put a fixed figure on it.

What we’re called out for in Trotton
Plenty of failed joints were never sealed with the right product. Decorators’ caulk on a joint that moves, acetoxy silicone on stone or metal, or a stiff sealant on a facade will all fail early. BS 6213 gives guidance on choosing construction sealants, and many specifications refer to it.
Look out for the following:
- Earlier reseals applied straight onto the failed bead
- Water staining near frames, panels or ceilings
- Expansion joints with the sealant torn out
- Gaps behind commercial kitchen worktops and sinks
A hotel such as Southdowns Hotel, 1 mile to the west of Trotton, shows how much sealant a hospitality building has on show, from bathroom joints to the bar.
What your quote should include
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
